Just hope this particular dead weight does not come back from the dead as others around here have.

Well for what it is worth, I think he was talking about the dead weight of not winning all season and struggling. Now that those emotions are over and they have won, the dead weight is off his shoulders

Either no one else knew (Darian and Krissie Newman both claim they don't know what Tony was referring to) or they're covering for him. But the way he said it, with real emotion, I think it WAS personal. I think it had nothing to do with SHR but was something very personal and it probably was woman-related IMO. He acted #### when he said it; he refused to comment further--and it would make him look like a chump if he admitted he called his ex "dead weight." If it was something girl related he sounds PO'd and I don't think he totally wanted the breakup. Too much emotion in his voice when he said it. It was totally a dig on his part to the offensive person and that's too much passion for someone who simply doesn't care about someone and broke up with them.

Regardless, he won another race so keeping him off balance may be a good thing. I am super proud of him and his team and hope they can repeat it again during the chase.

I heard that statement too & the first thing I thought of was someone at SHR got the axe & Tony's not stating who because he doesn't want a bad rep over the person's shoulders when that person goes to another team looking for a job. That way nothing bad mouthing against that person will come up.

Then I did think about that young thing he was dating. Maybe it was the only way to make it clear to her & her folks by letting it be heard to the viewing audience.

I'd hate to think something real drastic happened between one of his own folks that they got fired.

On a lighter side, maybe it was a release from one of his many other businesses that had been really bugging him.

Only those involved & Tony knows & that's all he intends on letting be known. It so far has proven the right thing to do, he got his 2nd win of the season & at a critical time at that, the beginning of the chase where it's needed & needs to maintain well from here on out.
